BRAZIL: We’ve Taken a Good Step Forward

Formula One heads to Sao Paulo in Brazil for the final race in this triple header and the iconic Autodromo Carlos Pace.

We’ve showed encouraging pace in recent races so head to Interlagos with cautious optimism, although we know W14 can prove unpredictable.

“We came away from Mexico with our advantage over Ferrari in the fight for second in the Constructors’ intact,” said Toto ahead of Round 21 of the 2023 F1 season. “That is an important battle for us and one we are focused on winning.

“Coming away from Mexico with a second place, given the challenging start to the weekend and our grid positions, was positive.

“The car showed very good race pace however we know we’ve got more work to do to extract the maximum from the W14 across all three days.

Of course, we have fond memories from Brazil, especially the past two visits with Lewis’ spectacular win in 2021 and George’s first victory in 2022.

“Lewis put in a very strong performance to score a podium and George gave it absolutely everything, even when his tyres had gone off at the end.

“We’ve got one last race in this triple header and it’s in Brazil. We know we’ve taken a good step forward in recent races, but Mexico showed W14 can still prove tricky to master. We will look to arrive in Interlagos with a solid baseline to work with and we’ll see what we can do from there.

“Of course, we have fond memories from Brazil, especially the past two visits with Lewis’ spectacular win in 2021 and George’s first victory in 2022.

“The fans are super passionate about F1, and we always get such an enthusiastic reception from them. Hopefully our package will run well there, and we can put on a good show for everyone.”
